A Fall River company has been selected by Cape Wind to be the electrical outfitter for the 130-wind turbine project planned for Horseshoe Shoals in Nantucket Sound.

The offshore wind developer revealed Fall River Electrical's involvement in the project in early August, when it announced that Weeks/Manson will be the project's construction contractor. Weeks/Manson is a joint venture between New Jersey-based Weeks Marine and Washington-based Manson Construction Co.

Fall River Electrical Vice President Dana E. Johnston said in a statement that his company is "looking forward to being a part of the Cape Wind and Weeks/Manson team."

"This is a great opportunity for local businesses like ours to help bring the clean energy industry to Massachusetts," he said.

Rick Palmer, vice president of Weeks Marine, said his company's contract with Cape Wind "has been a long time coming." Prior to Tuesday's announcement, Weeks Marine had invested in building a jack-up barge specifically for installing turbines offshore.

"Weeks Marine was committed to the emergence of the U.S. offshore wind industry and confident enough to make significant investment required to build an installation vessel," Palmer said.
